ICAS English 2021

This year's ICAS was one of the most unique experiences I've had. Usually with standardized tests such as this, I've always done them on pen and paper, but this ICAS English 2021 was the first time I did such a test online. We were told to "gather" at approximately 12.20 and commence the answering of questions. Because I was doing only English, my test consisted of Reading Comprehension questions, something starkly different from what we would do at school. The range of difficulty of questions was broad, with some being straightforward and others having implied answers. Overall, I applaud Ms Webster for organizing such an event only through her computer. Getting around 200 kids to sit a test all at once is no easy feat!
